European Arms Plan

_ GOP Needling Democratic Leadership
{ To Set Date For Adjourning Congress
WASHINGTON, July 26.—(AP) —President Truman’s
request for & $1,450,000,000 arms-for-Europe program
struck rough going in Congress today.
Republican Senators Vandenberg (Mich.) and Dulles
(N.Y.)—two of the main GOP forces behind the nation’s
bipartisan foreign poliey — were reported working on &
olan to chop the program by more than half.

the offering of the arms program

looked to him like an effort to
“stampede Congress into quick ac
tion,”
“It would be most unfortunate,”
George said, *if action is taken
on the arms program before the
defense council is set up under
the Atlantic pact.”
Vandenberg and Dulles were re=-
ported working with Rep. Vorys
{R-Ohio) on a plan to give pact
nations surplus military equipment
and money for new equipment—
plus the full amount asked for
Greece and Turkey— which alto
gether would cost this country less

The .natter of increasing the
gasoline tax from six to seven
cents provoked unexpectedly
powerful oppositicn and the vote
was the closest ; in the Senate
on the Talmadge four point pro
gram,
Administration Floor Leader
Crawford Pilcher led off the de
bate by arguing that fasollm
dealers had increased prices 5.1
per cent over m.e past thr:s years
and nobody had complained.
To this, Sen. John Land of Co
lvmbus countered by asking
whether Pilcher knew that whole
salers now get less than one cent
per gallon profit.
Read Letier
Pilcher read what he said was
a letter from the governor stating
that all money from the gasoline
tax would go to rural roads.
The Columbus senator then ask
ed if Talmadge had not promised
before that there would be no new
tax program,
-Baid Pilcher: “That’s not the
way 1 construed it.”
In thg gourse of the debate Sen.
that the State f?i‘m”t
ment now had $36,000,000 with
which to build roads and it was
high time the state began match
ing this money with federal funds
and beginning actual road con
struction.
The House prepared to debate
a three per cent general sales tax
in its afternoon session. The bill
had some support from both Tal
madge and anti-Talmadge leaders
bu:e faced heavy odds in a House
vote.
The appropria’ions measure
technicallfy amends a “contingent”
section of the state budget, rais
ing it from $46,000,000 to B§sl~

It gives the governor authority
to spend any increased revenue
for any items in the contingent
budget.
